THE JEWISH CHRONICLE

Judge Manuel Levine to Deliver B'Nai B'Rith
Annual Lecture

Noted Legal Reformer Will Speak on Subject
"Balancing Justice"

Jews of Detroit will be afforded an
o gortunity to meet one of the na-
ti,.n's leaders in the field of social and
1e;a1 reform when Hon. Manuel Le-
vine, judge of the Common Pleas
CGart of Cleveland, Ohio, appears at
auditorium of the Hotel, Statler
on Wednesday evening, March 28, un-
the auspices of Pisgah Lodge, In-
dependent Order of B'Nai B'rith.
Judge Levine has been selected to de-
liver the annual lecture of that or-
ganization, admittedly one of the big-
gest events of the year in local Jew-
ish circles, and for which only men
of undoubted prominence, achieve-
ment and eloquence arc chosen.
fudge Manuel Levine is one of the
half-dozen men i in the country today
who arc showing the public a way
out of the legal jungle.. These men
are doing more than all the bar asso-
ciations and legislatures combined to
abolish delay and technicalities in
legal procedure, to bring law into har-
mony with common sense and to re-
store lawyers and judges to the .con-
fidence and respect of the people.
Coming to America some twenty
years ago, he could only speak a few
words of English. He had 'read the
Declaration of Independence in Yid-
dish before he left his native city in
Russia and he came to America full
of the belief that this was Utopia, a
land where lofty ideals and sublime
thoughts reigned supreme.

Receives Rude Awakening.
He had a rude awakening when he
arrived at Cleveland and saw the graft
and corruption which polluted its mu-
nicipal. politics. He was especially in-
censed at the spectacle of its courts
of justice being controlled by un-
scrupulous judges who in turn were
henchmen of politicians and bosses.
Right then and there did he resolve
to devote his life to the cause of good
government and the cleansing of poli-
tics, especially in their relation to our
courts of justice.
The young immigrant studied law
and soon after was admitted to the
bar, obtaining an appointment in the
prosecutor's office. The Police Courts
at that time were infested with poli-
ticians who served as professional
bondsmen. He opened fight on them.
It was a long and hard fight, but he
drove them out.
Sponsors Municipal Court.
At the time when the question of
the creation of a Municipal Court was
presented to the citizens of Cleveland,
Judge Levine was one of the commit-
tee appointed to draft a law for the
creation of a Municipal Court system
and when it passed he became one of
the judges. The remarkable success
which has been made by the Cleve-
land Municipal Court is largely due
to the zealous efforts of Judge Le-
vine and his associates.
From present indications, a record
breaking audience will listen to Judge
Levine, whose visit is especialy tamely
in view of the fact that there is a
great deal of local agitation for the
establishment in Detroit of a Munici-
pal Court similar to that which he has
helped found in Cleveland. An in-
vitation has been extended to the
Lawyers' Club and Bar Association
of the city of Detroit to be present
at Judge Levine's address and many
prominent members of the local ju-
diciary and bar have expressed their
intention of attending. Judge Levines
visit, however, is not only of interest
to the general local community but
has a special meaning to the Jewish
people of the city, inasmuch as he
has been a life-long worker in Jewish
activities, and his address, "Balanc-
ing Justice," will deal especially with
the problem of remedying social and
political conditions in the Ghetto.
In addition to the address of Judge
Manuel Levine, which is the chief
number on the evening's program,
several musical features have been
i charge.
provided by the committee in
The address is open to the general
public, no admission fee being
charged.

Louis Danto Says

For the benefit of our numerous
policy holders we quote a few his-
torical facts of our Company.

The New England has the oldest charter
of all the regular mutual life insurance com-
panies in this country; granted by the Com-
monwealth of Massachusetts in 1835. Its
afiairs have been administered wisely and
conservatively, and every member has been
treated justly and equitably.

The New England is a strictly Mutual Company,
which means that it is owned by the policy holders,
who alone receive all its benefits.

Every New England policy holder is a member
of the Company.

Another benefit of great value may be added in thg
form of an Agreement waiving premiums in the event
of permanent total disability—before sixty-five years of
age. The Agreement provides that in the event of this
unforeseen condition arising, the company will "pay"
the premiums that fall due during the whole
period of incapacity. In other words, by this pro-
vision you insure your insurance
